Video Nick: Chiefs dynasty STILL IN PROGRESS, ‘RIDICULOUS’ Bo Nix is ranked ahead of Lamar Jackson? | FTF The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their worst season since 2012, and are tied for the 5th-best odds to win the Super Bowl. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if the Chiefs are still in the midst of their dynasty despite a down year, and if Bo Nix being ranked 59th in the NFL Top 100 is fair compared to Lamar Jackson being ranked 69th
Harrison Butker seemed to be in mid-season form on Saturday night as the Kansas City Chiefs played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an NFL Preseason game.
Butker came out onto the field for a 69-yard field goal attempt before halftime. He drilled it through the uprights to give the Chiefs a 9-0 lead going into the locker room. The kick may have been good from more than 70 yards.

Patrick Mahomes and the rest of his Chiefs teammates celebrated the monster kick with him on the field.
If Butker had made the kick in the regular season, he would have set an NFL record for the longest field goal made in league history. Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little set the mark last season when he made a 68-yard try against the Las Vegas Raiders last November.
Butker holds the record for longest field goal made in Super Bowl history. He hit a 57-yard field goal against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. He broke 49ers kicker Jake Moody’s mark, who initially set the high bar earlier in that game.
Butker may have had the highlight of the night, but he missed some clutch attempts as the Chiefs fell to the Buccaneers 16-15. He missed an extra point and a potential game-winning 43-yard attempt.

"You've got to make your kicks. Miss an extra point, miss a game-winner. That's what I care about, not the 69-yarder or whatever it was," Butker said after the game.
"I feel like throughout my career when I've had big kicks, it's been a struggle to finish the game or the next game. I feel like mentally I was good on that 43-yarder. It felt good off my foot. Maybe I need some more caffeine for the second half or something."
A Chiefs penalty nullified Butker’s initial extra-point try after the team scored on an Emmett Johnson touchdown. The re-try bounced off the upright.
"Butker, until the last field goal, had a heck of a day. But he'll be the first to tell you that's the one he'll remember," Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said. "He'll learn from it and move on. He's made enough of those big ones for us that we know what he can do."
